Thread Loop For Hook

Thread the needle with four strings of thread and secure with a knot at the end.

Create a foundation of vertical stitches by bringing the needle up from the back of the fabric at the starting point and insert it down towards you roughly about 1/4 inch to establish the loop width.

Pull the thread leaving a tiny bit of slack for the hook to slide under it. Repeat the process three to four times to create a bundle of vertical strands (take care not to insert the needle again and again in the same hole. insert it a bit left and right each time to create the strands).

Bring the needle up right next to the starting edge of your foundation thread, slide the needle under the entire bundle of threads, pass the thread at the back of the needle under the needle and pull tight to create a knot.

Repeat this process along the entire length of threads tightly packing the knots close together.

At the end, push the needle down on the underside and secure the thread with knot snipping off excess thread.
